It’s about to get litty 🔥(pun intended). Can’t wait.

This feels right, right here.

What a powerful visual poem.

3yo: dad, what are careers? Me: like a job you do for a long time of your life. Like teaching, teaching is my career. 3yo: Laying down is my career.

Summer days.

This girl is the real deal.

📚 Year 5 begins. What are ways I can show up, truly be “where my feet are” and find JOY everyday? This is what I want.

This young man right here is just built different. Keep rising, Kaden!

Meaningful PD means the world. Thanks to San Marcos High School for providing time and space to grow! #keys2smhs

Only the best San Marcos High School. Ready for #rattlerroundup #keys2smhs

What do I love San Marcos High School ? The communities that we build. This Vonnegut quote from day 1 says it all. What should young people do with their lives today? … the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.”

Another thing I love about teaching San Marcos High School is pairing up with Ms.Martin again. All star 💫 squad right there. Co-teaching is such a joy. #rattlerup

What joy it’s been being with SMHS_RattlerEnglish students again! Love the energy that this new year brings! #keys2smhs

Ooooon. This is real good. #learningthroughimagination

Starting to see some kids get hungry this year. 🍴 📚 🍴

I produced some great writing that summer and so did many of my cohort members. I still talk to some of them. One is now a PhD and writing professor. She did a compelling photojournalism piece about homelessness in Detroit

Students share their why. This helped revitalize me and inspire me to meet their passions. SMHS_RattlerEnglish #WhyIWrite

Got the fam out on a Friday night for some 🏈! #rattlerup 🐍

So proud of San Marcos High School students today. Y’all showed class and curiosity and helped me believe in our future. Daniel Aleman has some new fans and moved future writers with his passion.
